Living Rawesome Day #270 Truffle Base and Orange Powder pg. 183 entertaining in the raw
April 19, 2010
I just made the Truffle Base and Orange Powder. I decided to make the rest of the recipe tomorrow so they will be ready for the potluck on Tuesday. I am bringing the pages 183 and 186 recipes. I may bring more, but I will see. I have so many of the recipes that I want to make. I started on the Lasagna so I need to do that too, and I have the small squashes so I need to do the recipe that calls for them.
The recipes seem to be getting more expensive. I guess because the ingredients are just things I don’t have on hand. I usually have something here at my house even though I haven’t been buying the ingredients right before I make it. I have just been going with the “flow”. I love this project, I keep thinking about all the days that have lead me up to this one and I am more stable in this journey of raw food, more than ever. I have become so accustomed to making a recipe a day that I know I will continue to do this even after the project comes to end. I may not every day, but I believe that I will continue on my path in the RAW LIFE.
Truffle Base Ingredients
3 cups cacao powder
4 cups soaked cashews
4 cups tahini
2 cups coconut oil
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon sea salt
4 cups raw agave
3 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
Blend all ingredients in Vita-mix. Separate into thirds and freeze until firm and not sticky. I waited to put them into the freezer because I don’t want them to be solid tomorrow when I roll them. I will freeze them tomorrow and keep watch on the time to see how long I leave them in there.
Orange Powder Ingredients
1 cup orange zest
Dehydrate 24 hours. Pulverize in a coffee grinder, mortar, or small food processor. *note* I put the zest on a teflex sheet and then covered it with another one so the zest doesn’t fly everywhere.
Tomorrow will be fun! Jason said he would help me roll the truffles:)
I am off to bed soon, my test is in the morning.
